Keeludu, an Yaksha, in the form of mountain performed great   penance (vigorous Tapasya) for Maa
Durga..Pleased by tapasya Maa  Durga  appeared before him and offered  him boon (Vara)..Keeludu, with all his devotion asked Maa Durga to stay in his heart ( Hrudaya kuharam).
Then Durgamma asked Keela to stay and wait at the shore of the River Krishna.
After eliminating Durgamasura  in her fierce avatara of Durga, as per the word given to Keeludu stayed at Keeladri( top of the hill).
On seeing her Ugra (fierce) Roopa , Indra , the lord of heavens(Indra) and other angels asked her to take a dip in Krishna River and cool herself as nobody can bear her fierce and ferocious incarnation.
Accordingly Maa Kanaka Durga  has taken dip in Krishnaveni ( the Krishna River )and became santiswaroopini.
